Hi Poultry; I remember Dumont tvs back in the 50s. Dumont also owned a tv station in NYC, channel 5 and I think it was called WABD. The station was sold to some other firm and its call letters were changed(perhaps to WNEW). I think today it is a Fox affiliate.

I think my friend in the 50s had a Dumont console consisting of a 16 or 19 inch television in a cabinet with a very powerful mono amplifier and a 12 inch speaker. The sound was terrific and it could play so loud that one could hear it a few hundred feet from his home.

Dumont came out with a line of color televisions during the 60s. I knew of one only one television store that sold it off of some street that my family would ride to get to the Green Acres shopping center in Valley Stream,L.I. This tv store left a few of the sets play in their window. They did look quite good for a 1960s color tv.
